A good while yet. Late May seems to be when the braver wetsuit divers show up.

Last year in mid-May, the St. Lawrence River was 53F, however, today's dive was about 45F, so we have a little while yet before it'll hit 60F. Last year, the River didn't hit 60 F until mid-June.
In 41F water (mid-April last year), I was ok for 40 minutes in my 6.5 mm wetsuit + 6.5 mm shortie but whether or not you want to go now really depends on your cold tolerance. :) I'm diving dry now.

*pouts*
wants to stop coughing long enough to get certified and to get out diving myself.
I guess I'm just forced to wait until the water warms up more. =)

Patience, young ones water will be in the 60's come June but there's always a drysuit. I was at the quarry last weekend and I got 46?F at the boat and 49?F at the plane. With the warm temperature this week will be in the low 50's by this weekend.
Jim are we diving the caves this weekend...or I'm I finding another site to dive.

Don't you bastards dare go cave diving while I'm working this weekend.... or I'll curse your sidemount rigs so that they never get into trim again

Tom,
What time do you want to meet on Sunday? Is the Gaskin fine with you guys? If you want to do something closer it's also fine with me...I'll call you Saturday morning.
